As far as I know, the only one who has access and able to do anything to
Lubuntu Website is someone called Mario :)

https://launchpad.net/~mariobehling

Where is he right now? for the last 2 years, I have never heard a word from
him :)

Have you checked this link:
https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/msg00702.html
David was talking about an incorrect information on the website and I added

advertise for that - http://youtu.be/JxV4XjOksYQ

Thanks!
